Chapter 219: Paparazzi hate the peep star

As she waited for Gu Xixi, she switched on her laptop to check her hidden paparazzo account. It was time to post something, create some doubts and stir up some trouble.

The mighty little peep star: [Iron Dong’s accidental fall off a horse, accident or sabotage?]

She attached a picture that a drone captured of Iron Dong in a VIP room of a private hospital.

As always, alerts on so many phones in the empire went off, the peep star had hundreds of millions of followers by now. Millions more had come in when that picture of the killer was shared. Right now, the peep star was considered the source of all worthy news. To some, the peep star was even better than most media companies, where they lied, the peep star was truthful.

Ever since Iron Dong was hospitalized, there had been no word from her or her management. She had not been seen no matter how many paparazzi tried to sneak into the hospital under different disguises. This picture shared by the peep star was the first and only one so many people jumped on it immediately.

Hello world: [Peep star what trouble are you trying to create now?]

I love gossip: [When we said we missed the peep star, this is what we meant. Finally a picture of Iron Dong which proves she was actually hurt by that fall.]

Eat cake: [I agree with the peep star, Iron Dong was sabotaged, she is a woman of steel. How could she fall off a horse?]

Man of action: [I agree with the peep star too, I dug up this old video of Iron Dong behind the scenes of Dungeon raiders when she was still a stunts woman, just look at how smooth her horse riding skills are?]

Princess meow: [Why are you all just saying you agree with the peep star? All that the peep star has done is pose a question, was Dong Fairy’s fall an accident or sabotage?]

Baby Su:[If the peep star is questioning it, then it’s obvious that something fishy happened hence we all concur it was sabotage.]

Fire baby: [While I am always the first to agree with whatever the peep star says, can we all calm down and wait for director Bo to say something?]

Beautiful peach: [The fact that people cannot agree whether to call her Dong Fairy or Iron Dong is more puzzling to me. Anyway, I hope she gets well soon, too bad she won’t be in the movie I was looking forward to it.]

Tomato flavor: [It’s too early in the day to be debating over this; can her management just come out and clarify the issue?]

Outside the hospital where Iron Dong was, many paparazzi were kicking themselves in the ass. They had staked out the hospital for days, some of them had not even changed their underwear in three days all in the hope of getting that one shot. And yet the peep star had somehow beaten them all to it!!!!

"I hate that asshole peep star, I hate him so f******g much." One paparazzo cursed and threw his camera to the ground.

"Brother," his neighbor said, "You have damaged your camera, are you planning to quit the business?"

Chi Lian was incredibly happy to see her points rising, soon she would level up. Indeed, she needed to concentrate on her paparazzo work more than other things.

Her office door was opened slowly and Wenli brought the woman Gu Xixi in. She introduced her and then closed the door to give them some privacy.

Chi Lian had a warm smile on her face for the woman as she offered her a seat. She observed the woman briefly for a bit. She was a thin woman with bright eyes. She wore a silk white shirt and blue trousers with black pumps. It was obvious that she took her time cultivating the image she wanted to portray carefully, professional but not threatening.

Chi Lian could understand why she dressed this way, HTV was a men’s world. From what T4 had found, ninety percent of their executives and staff were men. Maybe they didn’t notice but it was as clear as day to anyone that their hiring policies were biased. Gu Xixi was the only female executive at HTV; she must have worked extremely hard to climb up that ladder in a hostile environment. That alone made Chi Lian interested in her.

Mei-Mei came to Chi Lian and showed held her pinky finger to her with tear filled eyes.

"What’s wrong baby, do you have a booboo?" she carried her daughter and checked the pinky finger which was the source of trouble. "Do you want mummy to kiss it better?" she asked in a soft voice.

Then she proceeded to kiss the finger. She could not see any physical sign of injury to the finger so she put Mei-Mei down and her daughter returned to the play area in the partition.

Returning to her seat, Chi Lian smiled with a slightly embarrassed look. "Sorry about that." She told Gu Xixi. I am one of those women who goes almost everywhere with her children."

Gu Xixi smiled genuinely and replied, "It’s no problem you are the boss of this company after all. You can do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t affect how you run your business negatively."

Chi Lian liked her answer, it was precise and focused. She gave her boss credit while also caring about the business.

"Then we should get down to the business which has brought you here Miss Gu. I will not be taking the long route to this as I am too curious to hold back. I have done some research into HTV and I know it’s a boy’s club over there. And yet you somehow managed to climb your way up the pole in that company, how did you do it?"

"I worked ten times harder than all those men; they stole my ideas and got themselves promotions. I gathered evidence and threatened to sue the company, that’s how I got my position. It was just a means to make me keep my mouth shut." She explained with a sneer which she quickly erased from her face lest it scare Chi Lian.

To Chi Lian, it seemed like Gu Xixi was very bitter about the way HTV treated her.

"Is that why you left?" She asked her. "Your salary was quite good, if you could hang in all those years while receiving little pay it’s not difficult for one to assume you could hang in there some more when the pay increased."

Gu Xixi sighed and said, "Money as dirty as that eats away at your soul eventually. I was promoted but nothing changed, they still treated me exactly like what I am, a woman. The one time the other directors invited me out, they wanted me to pour drinks for the executive director. Some of the female news anchors were there already doing so and being touched or pinched here and there. Sexual harassment in HTV is quietly accepted, it’s not easy for young graduates to get jobs after all."

"Why not expose them?" To Chi Lian, it was not that complicated, just record them and put it all over the internet.

"HTV is owned by the Hong family, trying to fight them is akin to a fly hitting a rock. I decided to quit, it seemed like the easier option. Cowardly perhaps but for the first time in years that night, I had a good night’s sleep." Gu Xixi answered her sincerely.

Chi Lian nodded everything Gu Xixi was saying was in line with T4’s findings.

"With the qualifications you have, why choose us?"

Gu Xixi answered confidently, "Your Company is new and innovative, all the shows you have premiered so far have been thrilling. You hire equally basing on nothing but qualifications and I came here with an ace up my sleeve. Of course, if you hire me, I will do my absolute best for you."
